I have an old 2004-era Dell PC I'm using as an HTPC and I'm looking for a video card for it. It has only PCI ports, not even AGP. I just want to be able to play 1080p video and use either HDMI (if so, audio through is a must) or at least DVI and then I can get an adapter to HDMI.
My current PC can't even play 480p video so it really sucks.
I found a Sparkle 8400GS PCI card on Newegg for $50, would that be my best best, or could I find anything cheaper that would still do the trick?
Thanks!
